$2.95
Less than the price of one gallon of gas.
That's all it takes to put an initiative on the ballot
to suspend the gas tax in Massachusetts.
to suspend the gas tax in Massachusetts.
Here's how.
We are proposing a law to suspend the gas tax whenever the price is above $2 per gallon. All we need is your signature on our petition.
In Massachusetts, we don’t need to wait for our legislators to pass a law to give us a break from high gas prices. We can use the ballot initiative process to pass our own law.
If 100,000 Massachusetts voters like you sign the Secretary of State’s official petition, we can put a law to suspend the gas tax on the ballot. And then we can pass it ourselves, by a vote of the people.
For $2.95 – less than the cost of one gallon of gas or one cup of coffee – you can help us put our initiative on the ballot. You’ll make it back in gas tax savings with your first fill up after our initiative passes.
You just have to sign the petition and mail it to your town clerk in the pre-paid addressed envelope that we provide. We do all the rest to get our proposed law on the ballot. Then all you need to do is vote YES.

Your $2.95 donation covers what it costs us to collect and process all the signatures on your petition. (If everyone in your household signs, it's still $2.95) This includes printing and mailing you the petition packet; postage on the prepaid business reply envelope that we provide for you to mail the signed petition to your local election department for the election clerks to register and count the signatures; and the postage and courier costs for us to retrieve all 100,000 signed petitions from the 351 Massachusetts city and town election departments and deliver them to the Massachusetts Secretary of State.
In January 2021, the price of regular gas was $2.38 per gallon.
Today it's almost $4.
Massachusetts can clearly afford to give drivers a break by suspending the gas tax until prices return to normal.
At the beginning of the 2023 fiscal year, State Treasurer Goldberg said “I don’t think people realize just how much money we have in the bank… I do believe strongly that we need to find relief for people who are really suffering from inflation and the cost of gas.” (Keller @ Large June 26, 2022)
This year alone, Massachusetts refunded nearly $3 billion dollars in excess state taxes to taxpayers. And we still have nearly $9 billion in the rainy day fund.
Well, it’s raining! But our legislators refuse to even consider passing meaningful gas tax relief, regardless of the pain that drivers are feeling at the pump.
We don't need our legislators' permission to suspend the gas tax.
We can pass our own law. Here is how.
In Massachusetts we have a system of direct democracy. This means we can propose own own law to suspend the gas tax. We don’t need permission from our legislators. The Massachusetts constitution allows us to put our proposed law on the November 2024 ballot by submitting a petition signed by 100,000 Massachusetts voters. Then we can pass it ourselves by a vote of the people, regardless of whether or not our legislators approve.
All we need is $2.95
That's less than the price of one gallon of gas!
Our signature drive will be powered by small dollar donations and grassroots organizing. No special interests. No deep pockets. No dark money.
All we’ll ask you to contribute is $2.95 to cover our cost of printing and mailing you the petition packet, plus the cost for us to include a prepaid addressed envelope for you to mail your signature to your town’s election clerk so they can count it, and our cost for couriers to retrieve all of the signed petitions from the clerks in the 351 Massachusetts cities and towns so we can submit them to the Secretary of State. If there is any money left over, we’ll use it to promote this signature drive on social media so we can recruit more voters to sign the petition.
There’s room on the petition sheet for every voter in your household to sign. We’re only asking for what it costs us in printing and postage to collect, process, retrieve and submit your petition sheet.
For less than the price of one gallon of gas (or one cup of coffee) you can help us put our law to suspend the gas tax on the ballot so we can pass it by a vote of the people. You’ll make that much back the first time you fill up after our initiative becomes law.
